What a cracking photo! O0 I 've never had one stay still for long enough for me to get a shot off.. Let alone get close enough to it.

It was taken from a hide where food had been put out to attract wildlife. I used a 70 - 200mm zoom lens with a 2x teleconverter, (effectively making it a 140 - 400mm) on a Canon 5D, not something I regularly carry around whilst walking. Still, the best I've managed so far.

I'd love to see a red squirrel in real life.

You can see them in captivity in a very large enclosure in the Welsh Mountain Zoo at Colwyn Bay, if you're ever in the area.

Thanks, Fernman - we do go to North Wales several times a year so I'll make a note of that. O0

They're wild (introduced) on Anglesey - one of my sons saw one in the gardens of Plas Newydd House when he was on holiday last July.

A few years ago my wife and I were sat eating lunch by a path in Grizedale forest when a Red Squirrel appeared on a branch in a tree just opposite us. Shortly afterwards a large group of ramblers walked directly underneath it chatting amongst themselves while they went. Not one of them noticed the squirrel which seemed totally unperturbed by their passing. I am sure that it would have made their day if just one of them had taken the time to just look around.

One ran up my leg and sat on my arm while I fed it some nuts! :D

My wife and I once stayed in a small hotel facing one side of the harbour on the Greek island of Antiparos, where every evening we sat on our 1st floor balcony with post-beach and shower / pre-dinner drinks watching numbers of larger-than-average bats swooping around the streetlights below us. The bats were flying only a little way above the heads of all the passers-by, who were always completely oblivious of them. There was only one occasion when a little blonde Scandinavian girl looked up and spotted them, and pointed them out to her mother.

Brilliant photos

Wow, those pictures are amazing, Sunnydale! O0
We've been to Formby a couple of times but never seen any unfortunately... Still, it's a nice beach to stroll along too so it wasn't a wasted journey.
Anglesey sounds like a good bet and it's somewhere I'd like to do more walking. Thanks again, Fernman for the tip. O0
